"A raven's dream". The series "A raven's dream" is an attempt to deal with the uncanny ('unheimlich'), to dive into an age of innocence where everything seemed to be mysterious, enigmatic, sometimes ominous. It is an attempt to explore a place where "all that was meant to be hidden have been exposed to the light", an attempt to reconstruct indistinct memories, to confront my childhood phobias and to exorcise them.
The title "A raven's dream" is a reference to the works of Edgar Alan Poe." S. Stamatiou
